SIS About thirty years ago a woman be
longing to the middle walks Of life,
suffering from cancer, was pronounced
beyond their skill by the physicians Of
Shrewsbury lnfirmary, England, the
tumor being in such close proximity to
the jugularvein that, rather than risk
the imperiling Of her life, they deemed
it best not to undertake such an ope ra-
ton. t. 4 - 90. IT, >S~tt.
Straight'vay after this announcement
was made she.sf returned to hon. home,
which was three miles from Oswestey,
the nearest railway station in the conn
ty Of Montgomery North Wales. Here
! she became u greater sufferer, when
one day she, @bethought herself of a
ncighbor, whom she soon found, and,
b with all the eloquence of one en-,
thr;llled by an impIacable foe she APP
pe;.led to her sympathy. IF it we're
possible, she impiored, edo, do some
thing to assuage my pain.'' With that
tenderness and Willingness character
istic of every true and noble woman to
allay her sisters many pains thi
friend, for she proved 4 friend in need
and deed, forthwith sent her boys Gone
Of whom is our infornlant) to gather
what in the United States is known as
sheep sorrel; by the people of England
as ''sour leaf or the cuckoo plant;' in
che Welsh language, to the people of
North Wales, us 'dail surion Y gog.'
10 this timely opportunity, and the ef-
hcacy of this herb rs an antidote for
cancer, this sufferer is in large meas
urc indebted for her health and life to-
day, while not the slightest vest;ge of
this hitherto unconquerable disease is
to be found.
The leaves were wrapped in brown
paper 81 tight as to make the package
impervious TO air. This package was
then placed beneath an open CRATE and
covered with the hot ashes of the same.
When sufficiently cooked it was re-
moved and in Us not u state as possible
and MOTTO burn it was now applied, the
leaves being in direct contact with the
ulcer, which was firmly held to the part
affected by q linen handkerchief.
Strange to say, at the expiration of one
month the tumor came away and has
not since appeared. For the first four
days the pain was most excruciating,
but gradually decreased as it became
loosened. There is much to be said in
favor of this method over that OF the
knife. The. nature Of its drawing
power in the form of boultice, though
at first very severe, still is gradual and
sure, while new blood rushes into the
vacuum r:,"sed by removal, thus serv-
ing as y fitting helpmeet for aiding and
stimulating natures efforts, and in the
meantime the arteries which feed this
fell destroyer are given u greater inn
pulse to move rapidly, flow healthy, and
strengthen the weaker parts as fast as it
egrcSScs. In this connection it is to be
o'os>r,cl that this method has none of
the accompanying weakening cf-
t"cts rs caused by loss of blood so fire.
qucntly exhibited under the operation
Of the knife, while the chances Of
thorough extirpa;ion are far more SAN
guine as to thread remaining than
that Of a surgical operation, which
many fear and object to.
For those parts not admitting of
poultice we submit another formula for
the same herb, as applied by this same
benefsctress in somewhat different
CASES.
a piece of flut-ir n or steel is OBJ
tanned with at least one bright and
smooth face. On this the leaves are
placed, which in turn is placed on top
of the stove OF within the oven until
the leaves are thoroughly cooked,
whenee they are removed and spread
on piece of linen in the same
way as any other homemade plaster.
When>cold enough. with sufficient heat
not to burn, it is then applied, and, Our
informant states, was productive Of the
same .beneficent result. -- CiScin11uti
